Flower impressions on clay can make beautiful artwork.
Flower impressions on clay can be a beautiful touch of artwork. The clay can be used for pragmatic purposes in the kitchen and around the house, as artwork or even to create a flower vase. The impressions can also be used to create a lasting memory of your flowers. The clay impressions are made with a few simple steps.
Instructions
1. Obtain a large amount of wet clay, perhaps two to three times the area that you think will be needed for your project. Choose a bright or cheerful color that you feel represents the flowers that you are imprinting.
2. Lay the clay onto an art board and begin to stretch it out. Make a large, flat, square shape across as much of the board as possible. Use a rolling pin if possible to straighten out the clay across the length of the board. Use the ruler and your finger to imprint an outline of the clay artwork that you will make.
3. Spray the flowers with vegetable spray; it will make them easier to remove later on. Place the flowers on the exact spot where you wish to imprint them within the clay art that you have outlined.
4. Roll the rolling pin over the flowers to leave a deep impression into the clay. Roll several times over each part of the art.
5. Remove the flowers and leave the clay to dry. The detailed impression will now be left permanently into the clay.
